Beach and Maunawili Falls

Much less rain today, just the one tropical downpour, which arrived around lunchtime.

For our morning entertainment, swimming and boogie-boarding at Kailua beach.

After indulging in the local pizza + frozen yoghurt places, we decided on a walk in the rainforest. 10 minutes drive from the beach house, we parked in a little suburban street and began the hike. Very soon we were walking through trees and tangled vines, with everything sodden from the last couple of days of heavy rain.

The path criss-crosses the river three times on the way to the Falls. With the river in flood, this proved too much for Deep Thought and Dr. Mom, who turned back, leaving "Hubby" and Little Starlet the glory, and the muddiness, of reaching the top.
